A Chance to Game the CBC

It’s basically 43 Things with voting to celebrate Canada Day. You submit a wish for the country and get fellow Facebook users to vote it up. They’re a little too self-congratulatory when they call it Ã¢â‚¬Å“a ground-breaking experiment in civic engagement and journalistic partnership”, but it’s a good idea.

Here’s another idea: wouldn’t it be fun to get something wacky to the top of that list? It won’t be hard if we start soon. The top vote-getter only has 32 votes.

Maybe it’s because I’m not on Canadian soil anymore, but nothing great springs to mind. “I wish our prime minister would come out of the closet” is just lame. “I wish Canada would adopt the 29-hour day?” “I wish PEI would secede?” I got nothing.
